Taking A Break

My current project at work has drained me of the will to look at a computer. Thankfully, I’ll be going for a somewhat long leave from today until Hari Raya Haji. I’ll be in KL during this period.

Maybe I’ll gain some motivation to post a few things here and there during that time, but don’t get your hopes up too high… I know I won’t ;)

Effects Of New Project: Lack Of Posts

I haven’t gotten a chance to post anything for the past 24 hours. I took ownership of a small but interesting project at work and am currently building an invoice tracking system for one of the departments.

Eventhough it’s a small project, it will take me some time to complete (and this doesn’t include dry run time) because I’m the sole developer of the system. Working alone on a program can make you become sick of looking at a computer, so I’m taking some time off the computer while at home… so please forgive me for not posting as often as I usually do.

On the other hand, I’m more than happy to follow a good buddy of mine around town. Doing what? Shopping. For what? Believe it or not, wedding rings! He’s getting married in a couple of months and is still looking for that ideal symbol of lost freedom :P

This post will be very direct and some might even call it crude. But I’m fed up with people trying to make a million bucks of the Internet yet at the same time won’t even invest a dime to make their dreams a reality. So if you don’t have the stomach for pure, unadulterated truth; stop reading now!

The Meaning Of Giving Sincerely

My company does some charity events throughout the year. The next (and final one for 2007) event would be treating the kids from an orphanage at McDonald’s as well as providing them with some gifts.

The company has decided to put up a Christmas tree at one of our lobbies (our offices span two floors) and decorate it with a note in which a child has made a request for a specific item.

Are Cheques Still Useful Nowadays?

Let me tell you one thing that irritates the heck out of me whenever I want to purchase something; the insistence on the method of payment to be in cheque. This just plain unnecessary in my point of view. Cash is cash. Whether its plastic cash, cold hard cash, or even cash in the form of cheques… it is still cash!
